Question 135281: please help me with this problem:
write the equation of a line passing through (0,-4) with a slope of 5.
express your equation in slope intercept form Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Slope-intercept form is where is the slope and is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept. The y-intercept is the point where the line intersects the y-axis. The x-coordinate of any point on the y-axis is 0, so the point (0,4) must be a point on the y-axis. That means that the point (0,4) IS the y-intercept for the desired equation, and the y-coordinate of this point is 4. You are given the slope number, i.e. 5, so you can write the equation directly simply by substituting the values for the slope and y-coordinate of the y-intercept into the equation
